If you were McCarthy, would you resign with Dallas or go to another team?

[Chocolate Lab]

NO, worse the owners, the bears are a far worse organization than jerry jonesled Cowboys..

interference how maybe there needs to be interference...

The Chicago Bears have a record of 185-218 since 2000.​

The Dallas Cowboys have a 217-186 record since 2000.​

The Bears have been bad mostly because they've never had a QB... although they have been to a Superbowl more recently than we have, even with pitiful Rex Grossman.

 

[goshann]

He may prefer the Midwest and being able to work with a young qb
The bears job seems like it may be a fit

Being the Cowboys HC could be one of the worst jobs in pro sports. You don’t even get paid well. McCarthy is the 16th highest paid HC in the NFL, and the 3rd highest in the NFC East. Jerry doesn’t pay well on top of being the most meddlesome and undermining owner in sports.

The bears have problems but they also have a potential brighter future at QB than we do. It’s an attractive job for that reason alone.

Nice fan perspective but not true the Cowboys HC job is always top job, your opinion is not shared by any real coach is has said this that actually is still in play tp get job in the NFL.right none of that it ture potential is not reality and the bears are a bad team, and they can't win anything, not even make the playoffs ..sure compare a team that been to the payoff but lost to one that cant sniff the playoffs and they have been lapped by their division recently. Awesome GM and ownership decades looking for wins have never had franchise QB but sure must better than one who loses in the playoffs regularly.

I hope MM does leave i dont want him.. I hope he see it this way, hes the worse OC Ianthe NFL and will kill Williams potential....... VS Dak who took a weak O and led the league in scoring last year had an MVP type season, thats not potential, that reality, daks had to overcome bad routes/separation, bad designs, lack of commitment to the run game. etc he did this last year, and it got worse this year, sure CW has bright future with the Bear-coast O LMAO.. Poor mike forced to work with Kellen Moore, not true, but ok, Moore laughing hard with his new home destroying mikes teams this season.

good riddance!!I lioke MM the HC but as an OC its never been worse hear IMHO..get rid of this 80s- O with him is bonus.

 

[fivetwos]

I think Mike McCarthy walks, signs with another team, but doesn't say anything that burn bridges with Jerruh. jmo.
Mike didn't burn bridges with the packers when they let him go, He simply thanked them for the opportunity, and admitted he didn't get the job done that he was hired to do.
I think Mike knew a year ago that this was going to be his last year in Dallas, no matter what. again, jmo.

Agree. He doesn’t seem anywhere near as petty as his current boss.

good go root for them i'm telling you....they suck much worse than the cowboys it's obvious, but please follow mike there, Please all of you..bye!!

If MM could get the Bears job, he wouldn’t have to deal with Jones’ incompetence & interference, and he wouldn’t have a much better upside.

He’s not getting a new deal from Jerry.

 

[ElGatoGrande]

If MM could get the Bears job, he wouldn’t have to deal with Jones’ incompetence & interference, and he wouldn’t have a much better upside.

After everything that happened this year I seriously doubt MM would stay in Dallas. Jerry Jones and his entourage did nearly everything wrong, he couldn't have sabotaged this team more if he tried.

 

[Carson]

Go to Jacksonville, win 9-11 games a year, make the playoffs and he is treated like a god

 

[blueblood70]

BYE MM please walk please leave please quit. You will do JJ a favor , don't give Jerry that choice. somehow fans are overlooking how bad an OC u are, how you picked Nolan, all your downside is being blamed on JJ..bye run run now quit before Sunday, please!!

I bet immediately, shot uses Lance all game, and runs the ball 40 times)

sure Jerry holding MM back from choosing Rico as a starter, from using motion and misdirection schemes and waits 12 games to use Turpin as Swiss army knife weapon, its all jerry not running , not being creative, Jerry called the qb run in the playoffs? not using T/Os or red flag challenges correctly? having one of the most highly penalized teams in the history of the nfl over 5 years?? ..

all Jerrys fault, not firing the OL coach and finding a better starting 5or scheme to fir the OL skillset, all jerry..

MM has now been let off the hook .. good job the hypocritical fanbase, fact is it is Jerrys fault for keeping MM this extra year and allowing the offensive scheme to crumble without interference. Jerry needed to get involved and debate MM form his OC job and didnt!! if there were a time for jerry to meddle this would have been it. at the bye firing MM as the OC coach...

 

[Creeper]

If it were me, I never would have signed on to coach the Cowboys in the first place, unless Jerry included in the contract that he would keep his hands out of the pie. Jerry would have to agree he will not make decisions on who plays and who doesn't. And he will allow me the final word on roster decisions. There is no way I would take the job knowing my reputation and job is on the line even though I am not making all the decisions that effect my reputation and my job.

Then again, for $5 million a year, I might feel otherwise. But if I had an offer from the Bears and one from the Cowboys for the same money. Good-bye Dallas. Hello Chicago - even though I hate the cold weather.

 

[ApolytonGP]

I think he'd take another job over Dallas. But I actually doubt that he has competing options. It sure looks like he won't get rehired in Dallas. Jerry should have extended him a while ago, if he wanted that.

I'm not sanguine that other clubs want him either. But in any case, I really doubt that he is able to run some process where he simultaneously interviews for other gigs while also considering a Dallas offer.

Probably most likely is that as soon as the season ends, he'll start interviewing for other gigs. IF Jerry doesn't technically fire him, MM would just show up the minimum needed for offseason work for his contract, while making trips to interview for other gigs. Given that this would be (even more than normally) dysfunctional, I think Jerry has a shoot or get off the pot moment and either fires him (from technical remaining days in the league year) or offers a serious renewal offer.

In the unlikely event that Jerry does make a serious renewal offer to MM, I think MM takes it. HC jobs are not dropping off trees. MM is getting older and is not a savant. He'll be grateful for the gig.

And everything could be different next year. Dak and CD will be healthy. And for all we know the Cowboys will win the division and the NFC. Things can change. Every new year is a new chance. Changes are not monotonically increasing or decreasing.

If i was checked out and looking for a payday from a clueless owner...sign me up

If I still had football life in me and wanted to coach an actual "football" organization...leave all my **** and run for the hills

 

[Bobhaze]

good go root for them i'm telling you....they suck much worse than the cowboys it's obvious, but please follow mike there, Please all of you..bye!!

Telling fellow Cowboys fans to leave and go root for another team…on an opinion forum where a variety of opinions are welcome just seems strange. Can you disagree without insulting people?

Yes, "more motion" would have made the difference this year.

And don't worry, there's a great chance you'll get your new coach. And people like you will think it will make all the difference, even with the same Jerry in place.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Oh, I'm staying in Dallas.

I want to be rewarded for doing the least.

OH NO ... I believe that they feel Mike McCarthy has been done wrong, they should go wherever he goes... It's apparent they don't like Jerry but Jerry's not leaving but Mike is so you might as well naturally follow Mike...

 

[blueblood70]

And don't worry, there's a great chance you'll get your new coach. And people like you will think it will make all the difference, even with the same Jerry in place.

Yeah it would have the first six to eight games of this year with some of the worst offensive play calls I've ever seen in my life and being more creative with the offense I'm not talking about the entire team as a head coach I said he wasn't a big problem here but he was one of the worst offensive scheme developers and play collars and in game adjusters I've ever seen in my entire football watching life it was like watching paint dry and yes it would have made a big difference it's how you start the year so bad before you realize all your deficiencies that's the problem yes our offense was horrible when we had a healthy team and we got our doors blown out by a bad Saints team apparently because of Mike McCarthy because of his inability to utilize the talent he has here and don't act like he didn't have any talent when you got guys like lamb and Turpin and Rico that you decide you can't use correctly that is on you yes I will be happy if Mike McCarthy leaves Mike McCarthy the head coach if he ends up staying I'm fine with but Mike McCarthy is one of the worst offensive coordinators I've ever seen in my lifetime...

So you go ahead and be mesmerized by the haters in here that are telling you this is all Jerry's fault that a Super Bowl winning head coach that just came off 36 wins with a relatively healthy team couldn't figure out how to utilize the offense better to start the year is all on Jerry Jones he had all training camp to look at Rico most of us at the Pittsburgh game said rico's a lot better than people thought and then when guyton was struggling not pull him but when he was hurt and it was obvious to all of us the better lineup was Tyler Smith that left tackle and bass at left guard that this offensive line look different yet as soon as guy was healthy he brought him back and he went back to the old line yes that's all Jerry's fault right Mike McCarthy had no control on how this season started no the season was over when Mike McCarthy didn't come out swinging from game one when you're undermanned as people wanted to attack Jerry for not giving this man enough talent when you have a healthy team and you don't come up with schemes to be aggressive and to treat every game like it's a Super Bowl that is on the offensive coordinator he did it last year the first eight games prescott and the team bailed him out once he opened up the offense.

So I'm saying something that's untrue here because everything I'm saying all happened we saw the first half of last year we made an excuse for him oh it's a new offense they didn't play most of their starters in preseason so they had a slow start to the year and he finally woke up but this year in training camp here to go to the bottom of the playbook and open this thing up and throw the ball downfield instead of having this high school offense this 80s throw the ball to the edges throw the ball behind the chains almost all the time these dump off passes this vanilla offense was all Mike McCarthy's fault if you can't see it I can't help you but yeah when you have a slow start to the year and it's quite obvious to most people that it was the way he was using the talent not the lack of talent he had a shot and he blew it too little too late a lot of these things he's done the last five weeks had he done the first six weeks we would have had a better record that is the truth​

​

When you wait too long, when you wait till it's desperation time to try to win games ,versus try not to lose games!!! if you don't read any of this read this and I'll put it in bold,​

​

Mike McCarthy plays games like he wants them to be close at the end, so he has a chance to win it with a field goal, he's trying really hard not to lose games, he's tentative ,he's vanilla he's lacks the creativity, and the mentality the kill shot!! ​

​

he lacks aggression, he lacks the inner fortitude to want to win games from the first snap and the first game he waits till it's too late to open things up. ​

​

Mike McCarthy has gotten lucky like Jason Garrett 'cause he does have enough talent on this team and when he did have enough talent on this team he wants them to line up and just beat the man in front of them, that's an old way of looking at offense, it's an old way of running your team!!! ​

​

you should always be looking for the kill shot and it shouldn't be until it's too late.... Mike McCarthy is fully on the hook for the way this season started.... I don't care about the lack of offseason aggressive moves in the all in attitude... ​

​

he can only control what he has and typically the better coaches can take less talent and make them better with scheme and he did not do that he failed to even utilize his best players even if they weren't Pro Bowl players he did not use Turpin and Rico properly, he didn't do it last year and worse this year.... that is not the way you coach a team... ​

 

[DallasEast]

Dang it. I found Jerry Jones' violin.

 

[DanTanna]

Mike seems to have more of an Illinois and Wisconsin "build", I can't quite put my finger on it.
